There are 12 carefully chosen “hot topics”, each assigned to 12 tables, with room for 10 attendees at each table. You will enjoy 15 minutes at the table of your choosing, which will be hosted by two experts on that topic.

Table hosts will facilitate dialogue and answer questions, letting the unique combination of guests at each table steer the conversation.
